On draft at Caps & Taps. It pours a clear yellow color with an off white head. The aroma has a little earthy dank and citrus. The flavor is oily with dry, bready malt and lots of earthy citrus hops. Pretty strong spicy bitterness, but not oppressive. Full bodied, but mostly pale base malt. Very little caramel. Pretty clean. The alcohol is a little noticeable.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma is citrus, a bit earthy. Not volatile but seems "heavy". Med +body. Flavor is citrus in an earthy and heavy way. It’s dry and quite hoppy, but the bitter doesn’t bite strongly. Very tasty, but difficult for me to parse.
